More about Ta

Ta is the counting word. It goes after a number and before the thing: do ta chai is two teas, se ta chai is three. Chai stays chai, because Persian does not make the thing plural after a number. Alone, ta can answer "how many?", as in Se ta. This is a different job from Ta in Ta farda, where it means until, so the course keeps the two apart. It is taught in Module 3, lesson 2, the lesson about ordering two teas, and you will hear it in every counted order, such as Chahar ta chai, lotfan.
